November BOM (make in October, bring to November meeting)

November BOM is made with a dark blue, a light, icy blue and white. Please use fabrics that read as a solid. The white can be either a solid or a white on white, but please, no ecru, beige, natural, off-white, etc. Also please try to stay away from the greenish-blues & turquoises.

This block is called Margaret’s Choice. It will be a 10″ finished block, so your completed block should measure 10.5″

Margaret’s Choice is made up of half square triangles in a 16 patch setting. Each patch measures 2.5″ (finished). Typically to make a 2.5″ half square triangle you would start with squares that are 3 3/8″. It has been my experience that using that exact measurement rarely gives me a perfect half square triangle unit so we decided to make the squares bigger and trim them down to the correct size. If you prefer to start with a 3 3/8″ square, you are most welcome to do so. Be sure to trim the triangle units to 3″ so they will finish at 2.5″.
